500ml bottle. Aroma: Nice bready wheat malt with a nice dose of caramel and brown sugar. Lots of pepper and clove, and banana. Some light bubblegum. Appearance: Light coppery brown in color and very hazy. Off-white head was full and foamy with good retention. Fair lacing. Flavor: Grainy and bready wheat with caramel notes. Some barley malt noted in the background. Lots of clove and banana, again with some bubblegun peeking out as well. A little tartness into the finish. Palate: Medium-light bodied. Medium carbonation. Overall: Nice beer. A benchmark for the style and with good reason.

Bottle. Pours a dark hazy brown with a nice, small creamy off-white head with notable lacing. Sweet aroma, lots of oranges and banana - a distant caramel feel as well. Pleasant mouthfeel. Quite sweet, with some caramel and wheat and a citric bitter aftertaste.

500ml bottle. pours a nice foamy white head with decent retention as well as notable lacing. slightly earthy tan/brown haze. dark citrus dominates the aroma, with ripened orange and lemon peel in the forefront. aromas are a bit on the tart side, but still retain some sweetness. taste follows the aroma, with a rather pleasant mouthfeel. the smoothness is rather pronounced on the finish, as is a bit of lemon. overall, it’s pretty good, just thinner than my preferences. it’s price isn’t too bad either.

Very hazy brown body with a large frothy tan head. Sweet banana and light spice aroma. Dry banana flavor with heavy wheat in the foreground and some light molassas in the background.

500mL bottle. reddish-brown color. foamy beige head. aroma / flavor of bananas, nutmeg, yummy.

Coloração marrom turva. Aroma e sabor: frutado e floral. Presença de cravo. Não é amarga. Média carbonatação. Ótimo conjunto. Elementos bem harmonizados. Agradável aftertaste. Perfeita combinação weiss/dunkel.

Interessante combinação floral das cervejas tipo Weiss (trigo) com o típico malte torrado das Dunkel. Dessa forma, nem ao céu, nem à Terra. Não fica azeda nem com gosto excessivo de café ou torrefação. Coloração marrom escuro, turvo. Creme pouco denso e consistente. Aroma de malte torrado e lúpulo. Carbonatação moderada.

500ml bottle poured ruddy brown like a bay horse, and a thick off-white head which takes a while to diffuse. The bottom of the bottle had lots of dark yeast making the body cloudy. Smells sweet like a doppelbock with clove, date, fruit and bread aromas. Taste is slightly bitter, wheaty and a little malty. The body is reminiscent of a hefeweizen but feels on the light side because it smells like something heavier. Has a sort of dry finish.
